<p><a href="https://theleafsnation.com/">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> head coach Craig Berube provided an update on his starting goaltender Saturday, noting that Anthony Stolarz is progressing from injury but has not yet resumed skating, per <a href="https://x.com/reporterchris/status/1921214963810509045">TSN’s Chris Johnston</a>.</p>



<p>Stolarz sustained an injury in Game 1 of the Maple Leafs’ second-round series versus the Atlantic Division rival <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/florida-panthers/line-combinations">Florida Panthers</a> after being bumped in the crease by opposing forward Sam Bennett. Stolarz exited the game as a result of the injury, with reports indicating he left Toronto’s home rink on a stretcher en route to a local hospital for further observation.</p>



<p>Through seven appearances in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Stolarz has come away with four victories coupled with a .901 save percentage and 2.19 goals-against average. Appearing in his first season with the Maple Leafs after agreeing to a <a href="https://puckpedia.com/player/anthony-stolarz">two-year, $5-million deal</a> in unrestricted free agency last offseason, the 31-year-old Edison, N.J., native pieced together a 21-8-3 showing alongside a .926 save percentage, 2.14 goals-against average, and four shutouts.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="163"></div>



<p>Originally chosen 45th overall by the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/philadelphia-flyers/line-combinations">Philadelphia Flyers</a> in the 2012 NHL Draft, Stolarz has since seen 149 career contests counting stops with the Flyers, <a href="https://oilersnation.com/">Edmonton Oilers</a>, <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/anaheim-ducks/line-combinations">Anaheim Ducks</a>, Panthers, and Maple Leafs in which he has posted a 68-40-13 record with a .917 save percentage, 2.52 goals-against average, and 12 shutouts. Last spring, Stolarz won the Stanley Cup with the Panthers, serving as backup to veteran starter Sergei Bobrovsky.</p>



<p>In Stolarz’s absence, the Maple Leafs have turned to 26-year-old Missouri-born goaltender Joseph Woll. Entering Game 1 versus the Panthers in place of Stolarz, Woll closed out the series opener with 17 saves on 20 shots to help guide the Maple Leafs to a 5-4 victory. In his most recent outing, Woll turned aside 31 of 36 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss that saw the Panthers close the Maple Leafs’ series lead to 2-1.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="145"></div>
